New Memoir Chronicles Couple's Remarkable Love Story During WWII Through Letters
GRANBURY, Texas (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- War makes the most harrowing stories. It produces the extremes of journeys and explores the extent to which the human spirit would endure to connect, persist and prevail amidst the colossal obstacles it faces. Beyond all the horrific tales of death and destruction, there shines some touching, transcendental narratives of love. Such is the story that unfolds in "World War II Letters Home" (published by Xlibris), a series of letters between a husband and his wife during the tumultuous years of World War II.
Author Audrey Fahlberg's only assurance that her spouse was alive during the chaotic period of 1944-1945 was his much-awaited letters that often arrive two months after they were written. Will, her husband, was a combat medic of the Tenth Mountain Division in Italy. Letters, then, were the only form of communication.
"That letter home held our hearts together during the war," Fahlberg says. "Letters were often written on the surface of his helmet, on a rock, or a board, and on any writing paper that was available."
In this real-life testament of true love, readers are invited to share in the couple’s difficult yet resolute journey of nurtured affection in the thick of ill circumstances. It expresses, according to Fahlberg, the universal “need to share love and prayers.”
Chronicling the love that defied borders and braved distances, "World War II Letters Home" offers an inspiring story about marriage, loyalty and relationships. It also depicts the terrible impact of war from the perspective of someone who has lived it; thus, serving as an authentic reminder for the youth to cherish the freedom that their forefathers fought with their lives to earn.
